Official Let's Bitch About This Site Thread

Post by Prey »

:D j/ks

but I'd just thought I'd elaborate on my 'this site cold be better' post earlier!..

Image

You might argue with that (e.g. its too simple), but with zero traffic it's not like these subforums serve a point anymore. So what if you have halo3 tools/torials and mods in one forum: they are far and few between, but once they gain in numbers they can easily be separated. Take a look at this site that I get help for my [crap!] electronics course: http://www.electronicspoint.com/. What a simple and effective web design...

skin1 skin2 maybe you dont agree but they just called out to me because they were simple and easy on the eyes. I didn't look very long though.

jtag modding will only catch on more. I believe halo2 modding only became more popular during its end too (end being the xbox 360 coming out)

If you could get the halomods.com domain, or something similiar, too. Theres no point being a remnant for halo 2 anymore..

Bring back the days when 50+ people were on at any one time. I even remember that one person put a picture in his sig once showing that he was actually the only person online one time because it just didn't happen :>

The sub forums are there to make it easy to find what you looking for.

Those skins are ugly...

Well yes, I think that is the point in subforums? Problem is no one is looking in them, therefore they're just over complicating the site now. They were useful in the past (well some were arguably never useful), but no longer.

This skin is uglier.

Tbh, I never really noticed the annoying mess which are the forums because I just press the 'view new posts button' on a regular bases. However I have known about the decay of the website for a long time, and even did some small amount of work on coding new thing and stuff: however the truth of the matter is that most of the stuff on Remnant was coded by Supermodder911 (with the exception of the current half-baked theme) so I ended up having to learn php scripting, on top of improving my css knowledge. Basically it turned out to take more time and effort than I really had the spare time for. That was before I started working full-time. Now my spare time is mostly taken up by the small amount of programming I still do for Halo 2 apps. But maybe one day I will finally finish a makeover for this website. Someday...

Hmmm, there are custom elements on this board? Or are we just talking about the edits to the skin?

There isn't much coding needed as far as I can see: change the categories using the admin panel, move the topics to their right place using mod panel. Install a new skin using admin panel. Get a better domain name.

If it's a question of time, maybe you know someone who does have time?

Edit: what is the logic behind hiding the cafe from guests? the cafe is the only active place lol; new people who come here will definitely think this place is dead :{

Cafe is hidden from quests? Didn't know this. Lots of crap is broken though. Like all those custom things I mentioned Supermodder911 doing. I broke them all. Looked at my php template's code. It is very broken. Guess I need to go ahead and fix that before I look into seeing if I want to work on the theme or not.

Well that stuff is just a few files, and doesn't phpbb come with some repair option? And skins are very much a download and click the install button process. eazy

I remember when Supermodder was cool.

Ah, those good old days.

Also; yes; the site sucks in its current aesthetic condition.

I have always loved the uniqueness of Remnantmods! I think it all looks good and shouldn't be bitched over. :P

Yeah, Neodos, I sorta understood what you just said, but it seems kind of odd the way you said it...

As it is coming from halomods I don't really know what to do about it... it\s likely any content from halomods is causing the warning and not the offending files in particular.

Yeah, I've seen this coming from Halomods in the last 3 days or so. I've been on there looking for old map packs, and an old photo from T Beezie in particular that I wanted to ask him about. Who is running Halomods now? Kornman?
